It sounds as though you have done some rehabs in the past, so I would highly recommend buying something with some hair, renovating it, and renting it out.

If you have an underground leak, you may notice that certain areas of the yard do not dry up.

Patience and dry powder 😊

They also passed some very important legislation preventing denial of tenant/applicants based on hair type or style. 

Do you think your leads will dry up? 

I found the sweet spots for listing is getting a hair under that number.

I pulled everything I had via HELOC and all my dry powder into Tesla and now have enough to retire on the French Riviera.  

There is risk, much more than most people understand.My guess is 90% of the people have no money, so they are really trying to start, run, maintain some kind of a profitable business on a shoestring....wouldn't matter if it is real estate, dry cleaning, restaurant, snow cone stand, or whatever....doing it with no budget and no money is very very very tough. 

I'm not too keen on emptying the Colorado to the point that it's dry by the time it gets to Mexico, either.  

You have a very dry sense of humor. ;-) Keep it up.Aa they say in the "gator lending community".
